Their rst case together is one that looks, to police, like a case of linked suicides.

Summary:

A man is having a nightmare with images of armed conict and injured people that make him wake up in sweat and tears. He later on sits on a bed in what looks like an apart-hotel room and stares at the wall and at walking stick standing against a chair. Still later, he eats his breakfast (an apple and a tea, the mug sporting a regimental crest of some sort) and takes his laptop from a drawer, where it was laying on top of a gun. He opens the laptop and stares at a blank page entitled The personal blog of Dr. John H. Watson. There is a change of rooms and Dr Watson is now talking to his psychotherapist, who is trying to encourage him to start writing everything that happens to him in the blog as a means to cope with his stress symptoms and his trust issues, but Watson replies nothing happens to me. October 12th. A well-dressed man is talking with his Personal Assistant of the mobile asking her for help because he has gone to the wrong train station. She tells him that he has no choice but to take a cab, something that he is obviously not used to do. It is also obvious that he and his PA are having an affair. He is seen later looking scared and taking a capsule from a small glass jar and eating it, then having a seizure on the oor of an abandoned ofce building. His wife gives later on a press release on how unexplained his suicide was while the PA cries on the background. November 26th. Two young men walk under the rain under one umbrella. One tries unsuccessfully to hail a cab, then decides to go back home for another umbrella. His friend waits for a while and walks back to search for him. The rst man is seen in an empty indoors gym taking a capsule from a jar with tears in his eyes. A newspaper announces the news of the 18-year-olds suicide. 3

Sherlock Episode Guide January 27th. A wild party is going on to celebrate the nomination of a local MP to the Ministry of Transport. Two of the MPs assistants meet at the bar. One of them has removed the car keys from the MPs bag, who has had more that one too many. They both suddenly look around, but their boss is not there any more. She is seen by her car, looking for the car keys, then looking around. She is then seen in a fenced yard full of rental containers crying, with a jar with capsules by her hand. A press release is going on concerning the suicide of the MP. Sergeant Donovan conrms that the three suicides are linked and Detective Inspector Lestrade takes questions from the press. All the suicides happened in locations where the victims had no reason to be and they all took the same poison, but apart from that there are no other links between the victims although the police is sure that they will nd it. At this moment all the mobile phones in the room receive a text message with the word Wrong! Lestrade states that they have their best people investigating the case, and again they all receive the text message Wrong! When questioned about precautionary measures, Lestrade states that so far, there is no major risk, and again the text message Wrong! is sent to all except Lestrade, who receives a different one You know where to nd me. SH. Once the conference is over, Sgt. Donovan complaints to Lestrade about the behaviour of the message sender, but Lestrade says that he does not even know how he does it, so he is unable to stop it. Dr. Watson is walking in the park when he is stopped by another man, Mike Stanford, who recognises him from their time as interns at St. Bartholomew Hospital. They both sit to have a coffee and we see Watsons left hand spasm when talking about the army. Watson explains to his old friend that he might have to leave London, since he cannot afford an apartment with just an army pension and it is very unlikely that he might nd someone willing to share with him. Stanford tells him that he is the second person today that told him that same thing, and brings Watson to meet that person at the morgue. A man is conducting an experiment in the morgue at St. Bartholomew by beating a corpse with a riding crop to prove an alibi and ignoring the clumsy efforts of the mousy assistant Molly to irt with him. In the lab upstairs, Watson and the man meet for the rst time. The man asks Mike Stanford for his phone because he needs to text and Watson offers his to him. The man asks Watson if he had been in Afghanistan or Iraq, much to Stanfords amusement, then asks Watson if he would mind having a atmate that plays the violin when he is thinking and goes on without speaking for days, to which Watson replies that how does the man know that he, Watson, is looking for a atmate. The man explains how obvious is that Davenport should bring an old friend to meet him when they were just discussing about atmates that very morning and makes an appointment with Watson for the next day at seven to see the house. Watson, a bit offended, tells him that they know nothing of each other and that he does not even know his name or the place where they should meet. The man replies that he knows the Watson is an army doctor invalided home from Afghanistan who has a brother of whom he disapproves because of his drinking habits and because he walked out on his wife and that his therapist rightly thinks that his limp is psychosomatic. Then he says his name, Sherlock Holmes and the address: 221b Baker Street before dashing off. Yes, he is always like that, says Davenport to the astonished Watson. Back in his current apartment, Watson looks at the message sent from his phone by Holmes. It says If brother has green ladder arrest brother. SH. He then goes to his computer and browses the name of Holmes. In another place a woman with pink skirt, jacket and shoes takes from the oor with a trembling hand a small jar with the suicide pills. Watson and Holmes meet the next day to see the apartment. It is owned by a lady, Mrs Hudson, a widow who is giving Holmes a special deal because he ensured the conviction and execution of her husband in Florida. The inside of the apartment is quite the mess, with boxes full of books, papers and other assorted things covering tables, chairs and sofa, all which Watson initially thinks is rubbish until he realises that these are Holmes things. Holmes, a bit nervous, offers to straighten things up. A violin lies on the sofa, a skull on the mantelpiecel and there are also two armchairs, one old fashion one with a British ag cushion and another more modern one in green imitation leather (one for each). The open kitchen next to the living room has a table full of laboratory equipment. Mrs Hudson asks Watson with a wink if he would be needing the bedroom upstairs as well, to which Watson replies of course. Mrs Hudson says not to worry: Mrs Turner next door has 4

Sherlock Episode Guide got married ones, leaving Watson to realise what many would be assuming from now on about his relationship with Holmes. Holmes is quite indifferent to that particular exchange. Watson sits on the old fashioned armchair with British ag cushion and tells Holmes that he found his website yesterday: The Science of Deduction. Holmes eagerly asks for his opinion and is a bit hurt when Watson seems skeptical about Holmes claims, prompting him to retaliate and tell him that he could read Watsons military career from his face and leg and Watsons brothers drinking habits on the mobile phone. Watson asks how, but Holmes does not answer. Mrs Hudson intervenes asking Holmes why he is not investigating the three serial suicides, just the type of problem that would suit him. Holmes looks at the window and, seeing a police car, deduces that there has been a fourth suicide and that something must be different this time. Lestrade enters the room running and answers Holmes questions with an address and with the new fact that this time there is note from the suicide. Holmes asks about who is in charge of forensics, but when he hears the name of Anderson complaints that Anderson would not work with him and that he needs an assistant. He tells Lestrade that he would go anyway and as soon as Lestrade has left the room, he jumps up in glee and asks Mrs Hudson for some cold meal for a late supper as he leaves, while an astonished Watson if left sitting on the chair, looking at a newspaper with the picture of Lestrade. Mrs Hudson tells Watson that she sees him more as the sitting type instead on the dashing about type like Holmes, which prompts Watson to swear at his limping leg. Holmes suddenly returns and invites Watson along. In the taxi going to the crime scene, Holmes is texting while Watson stares. Holmes nally tells Watson to ask the questions in his mind. The rst ones are about where they are going and what does Holmes do exactly, to which Holmes replies that they are going to a crime scene where he will assist the police, as his job is Consulting Detective. Watson replies that the police do not consult amateurs, and Holmes retaliates by explaining exactly how he deduced that Watson was an army doctor by his bearing and his comments about working in the lab in his day. That he was injured abroad was deduced by his tan and his limp, so Iraq or Afganistan, and the fact that his limp was psychosomatic because he seemed to forget about it when distracted. That he had a therapist provided by the army was no great logical leap. As for the brother, Watsons expensive mobile phone, a model only six months old, had an inscription: Harry Watson from Clara XXX. It also had scratches and damage around the charge area. From that Holmes deduces that the phone was a gift from a family member, but not of an older generation, who drinks too much because his hands tremble when he tries to charge the phone and who is walking out on his wife because of his eagerness to get rid of her gifts to him. He also wants to keep in touch but Watson does not go to him for help, so Watson must disapprove of him. And yes, the police do not consult amateurs, but Holmes has just proven that he is not one. Watson replies that it was amazing, extraordinary, to Holmes surprise. Arriving at the crime scene, Holmes asks if he got something wrong on his earlier deductions. It is clear that somehow he wants Watsons approval. Watson conrms the bad sibling relationship, the divorce and the drinking, but just one little error: Harry is short for Harriet. Watsons brother is in fact a sister. Theres always something says Holmes, acknowledging that he is not infallible. They are stopped at the yellow tape by Sergeant Donovan, who calls Holmes freak, to which Holmes retaliate by telling her that she did not get to go home last night. Watson is introduced as a colleague, to Sgt Donovans disbelief. By the door of the apartment block a man in blue overalls (Anderson the forensic) warns Holmes that he does not want the crime scene contaminated. Holmes asks him if his wife is away for long. Anderson tries to dismiss it as a trick, but Holmes points out that his deodorant is all over Sgt Donovan and that the state of her knees indicates that she spent quite some time kneeling recently, leaving them both embarrassed while he and Watson enter the building. Once inside they are greeted by Lestrade who brings them to a room where a woman in pink lies face down. Holmes approaches the body and notices the message Rache scratched by the dying womans ngernails. He translates it by Revenge in German, then thinks again and completes the word into Rachel (lesson from the Harry/Harriet error). He notices that the coat is wet, even in the inside of the collar, but the pocket umbrella is dry. Her jewellery is clean except for the well worn wedding ring (unhappy marriage 10+ years) which is polished on the inside (frequently removed = serial adulterer). Anderson appears and tries to show up by pointing out that the victim must be German. Holmes closes the door on his nose while browsing on his smartphone and says 5

Sherlock Episode Guide that she is not German but from Cardiff and was in town for one night. He then asks Watson to examine the body, forcing Lestrade to acknowledge Watson as Holmes assistant thus making the point that if the police want Holmes help, they have to do it his way. Watson tries to comply, but he is only able to say that the victim probably choked to death while seizing. Lestrade interrupts and asks Holmes for his conclusions, which are that the victim was a professional woman, probably in media (pink) serial adulterer (the jewellery) from Cardiff (wet clothes = rain two to three hours away from London, inside collar wet but umbrella dry = heavy wind, meteorological information = Cardiff) and in town for one night by the size of the luggage (small mud splatters on right leg = small wheeled suitcase). Watson cannot stop making comments on how brilliant he nds Holmes deductions (to Holmes surprised delight. Lestrade tells Holmes that there was no suitcase, which triggers another set of deductions while Sherlock runs downstairs: the victim must have been accompanied by someone who took the suitcase. That means that she was driven here and somehow forced to commit suicide by a serial killer. Houston, we have a mistake! Pink! Watson is left at the crime scene alone with the police and makes his way to the exit. There he is warned by Sgt Donovan to stay away from Holmes because he is a psychopath and, one day, he is going to get bored and start committing crimes himself. As Watson limps towards a main road in search of a cab, a phone booth rings. The same happens to the phone in a shop as he passes by and then yet another booth. This time he picks it up and a voice calls his name tells him to check three security cameras on the vicinity: All three move and focus away from the booth towards the other side of the street while a black car stops by the booth and Watson is instructed to enter it, which he does. Inside, a beautiful woman ignores his questions and keys on the mobile. He is driven to a warehouse where a tall man leaning on an umbrella awaits. He offers him a seat, but Watson deantly remains standing. The man interrogates Watson about his relationship with Holmes, to which Watson replies that he met Holmes just yesterday, and then asks the man if he is Holmes friend. The man replies that Holmes does not have friends, but he is the closest thing: an enemy, archenemy even. Watsons mobile tells him that he has a text message: it is Holmes Baker Street. Come at once if convenient. SH. He man asks Watson if he plans to continue his association with Holmes, to which Watson replies that it is none of his business. The man now tells Watson that he is concerned about Holmes and offers Watson money in exchange for information on him, but Watson refuses while another text message rings If inconvenient, come anyway. SH. The man tells Watson that he is very loyal very quickly to Holmes and asks him if despite the trust issues described by his therapist, he has decided to put his trust in Holmes. Watson turns back to leave, but the man sends a parting shot: his left hand (the one with the intermittent tremor) tells that he is going to move in with Holmes, despite multiple warnings to stay away. Angrily Watson turns around and the man asks him to show him is left hand. It is not trembling, even when the man touches it. The man tells Watson that when he walks with Holmes, he sees the battleeld again, and that he should re his therapist: Watsons hand does not tremble because he is haunted by war, or it would be trembling now, but because he misses it. Watsons phone signals a third text message Could be dangerous. SH and Watson follows the woman back to the car, where he asks her to stop by his old apartment to take his gun, and then drive him to Baker Street. He also tries unsuccessfully to irt with her. Watson returns to 221b Baker Street to nd Holmes lying on the sofa and holding his left arm. We all think cocaine, until we see nicotine patches, the politically correct substitute. Watson asks why Holmes wanted to see him, to which Holmes replies that he needs to borrow Watsons phone to send a text message, so that his own phone number would not be recognised from the website. Feeling a bit cheated, Watson tells him that he has met his arch-enemy to which Holmes asks if he offered Watson money to spy on him and then suggests that he should take it the next time and they could split the fee. He then asks Watson to send the message What happened at Lauriston Gdns? I must have blacked out. 22 Northumberland St, Please come to the phone number of the woman in pink. Meanwhile, Holmes retrieves a small pink suitcase from the kitchen and opens it, adding sarcastically to a surprised Watson that despite the suitcase and the text message, he is not the killer. Then Holmes explains to Watson that he deduced that the killer drove the woman to Lauriston Gardens but made the mistake of driving away with the suitcase, a very colourful one (pink) who will draw attention especially on a man. He must then get rid of it quickly, so Holmes searched for potential dump sites near the crime scene located in areas accessible by car but isolated and found the right skip in less that one hour. There is 6

Sherlock Episode Guide one thing missing: her mobile phone. A serial adulterer would be careful where she leaves her phone, so it is possible that the murderer has it, on purpose or by mistake. The text message that Watson sent could only have meaning to the murderer, so when Watsons phone rings, Holmes realises that the hunt is on and asks Watson to come with him. Watson tells Holmes about Sgt. Donovans warning, that Holmes gets off on this, to which Holmes replies that he said dangerous, and Watson is here, proving that he is just as bad. Holmes and Watson walk to a small restaurant overlooking 22 Northumberland Street where the owner, an old friend of Holmes, insists on serving him and his date a nice free dinner. Watson tries unsuccessfully to explain that he is not Holmes date but eats the dinner anyway while Holmes ignores the food and watches the street. Watson prots for the moment to ask some private questions to Holmes. At that moment, a taxi stops in front of 22 Northumberland Street and the passenger in the back looks around but does not come out. Holmes leaves the restaurant in a hurry and Watson follows, his cane forgotten by the chair, at the same time as the taxi moves away. Watson memorises the number plate but Holmes visualises in his head the route (including trafc lights and detours) that the taxi must follow to reach the closest main street and sees an alternative route via backstreets and rooftops that will allow him to intercept it. He follows it on the run with Watson close to his heels but when they reach the taxi and meet the passenger, Holmes realises that he is just an American tourist newly arrived in town. The killer did not make it to the rendezvous. Holmes at Watson run back to their home and, while still at the entrance hall the door rings: it is the restaurant owner with Watsons cane. Holmes texted him to have it sent back as a home warming gift to Watson, since there is little doubt now that he will be staying with Holmes. Mrs. Hudson greets them in a state of panic because the police are upstairs and Holmes and Watson go up to nd their living room being systematically savaged by Lestrade and his people on a pretend drugs bust. Lestrade wants to make a point too, plus recover the evidence from the suitcase that he was sure Holmes would nd. Watson laughs at the drugs excuse but Holmes asks him to be quiet, indicating that Holmes might have had some problems of that kind in the past. Anderson is all for arresting Holmes as the murder suspect, but Lestrade wants Holmes insights. They have found Rachel: It was the name of the murdered womans stillborn daughter, dead for fourteen years. Holmes wonders why the woman in pink would have carved her daughters name as she was dying, unsatised by the emotional explanations. Mrs. Hudson enters and tells Holmes that his taxi is here, and then all start talking until Holmes shouts at them to shut up while he thinks. The murdered woman was clever. She planted the phone on the killer and left her email access password scratched on the oor. While all the rest are looking bewildered, Holmes explains that since the phone has a GPS locator, her email would access its location. Watson looks at the website, but the result indicates that the phone must be in the apartment at Baker Street, which is impossible since the killer used it after Holmes and Watson texted him. The cabbie still waits for his passenger, and then is when Holmes realises who ts the prole of the killer (all the victims were looking for a cab when abducted) and who has the phone inside his pocket in Backer Street. While they all look for the phone, Holmes receives a text COME WITH ME and decides to follow without telling anyone. He goes downstairs and talks to the cabbie, who issues a challenge: if Holmes calls the police now, he would surrender, but he will never tell how he made the victims kill themselves unless Holmes comes with him. Holmes enters the taxi while Watson looks through the window. Lestrade and his people leave with Lestrade giving his opinion of Holmes . . . Sherlock Holmes is a great man. And I think one day, if we are very, very lucky, he might be a good one. Watson, putting his faith on Holmes deduction, keeps on trying to locate the phone via the website. In the taxi, the cabbie tells Holmes that he recognised him when he chased his car. He had been warned about him and he red his website. Holmes asks him who gave the warning, but gets no answer. The cabbie drives to an empty school building and briey threatens Holmes with a gun, but it is unnecessary since they both know that Holmes will see it to the end. Watson sees the phone new location on the website and rushes off. Sherlock and the cabbie sit face to face in a large study room. The cabbie puts on the table two identical bottles with a pill each and tells Holmes to choose one and the cabbie will keep the second. They will eat the pills together and one will survive. This is how he killed the others, reinforced by the threat of the gun if they did 7

Sherlock Episode Guide not choose. Watson arrives at the site and enters the building. Holmes deduces that the cabbie is estranged from his children and dying, that is why he plays the game, because is a humiliated man with a high opinion of himself who has nothing any more to lose. But there is more: The person who warned the cabbie about Holmes is also sponsoring the killings and after each murder, money goes to the children, but the cabbie would not say the name. Watson is searching the building and calling out for Holmes. The cabbie uses the gun to try to force Holmes to choose, but Holmes knows that it is a fake gun and, having the information that he wanted, prepares to leave to call the police. The cabbie has a nal ace up his sleeve and challenges Holmes to the game again, just to prove that he would have chosen the right bottle, and Holmes is unable to resist the challenge. He picks a bottle and they both face each other, the cabbie taunting Holmes about his addiction to anything that can give him the kick and stop him from being bored, while Watson, searching frantically, reaches the opposite side of the building and watches the scene from a far away window. With the cabbie edging Holmes constantly, both men prepare to take their pills when a shot from Watson through the window hits the cabbie square in the chest, breaking the spell. Holmes runs to the broken window but Watson has already left. Holmes then goes back to the cabbie and asks if he got it right, but the cabbies just smiles. Angry, Holmes steps on the cabbies shoulder and asks for the name of the serial killers sponsor and the cabbie screams a name before dying: Moriarty. Holmes sits in an ambulance, blanket on his shoulders (for the shock, but he feels ne) when Lestrade arrives. They have been looking for the shooter, but have no clues about his/her identity, to which Holmes replies starting a lecture on the shooters characteristics (crack shot, acclimatised to violence but not random since he/she waited for Holmes to be in danger so, probably on the military. . . ) but then he sees Watson standing by the police cars and realises who the shooter was. He turns to Lestrade and pretends to be ranting nonsense because of the shock and rejoins Watson outside the police lines. Watson pretends to have just arrived but Holmes tells him that he knows the truth and expresses his concern for Watson, who has just killed a man. Watson admits that, but states that he was not a nice man, plus an awful cabbie! They both start giggling as they leave and Watson asks Holmes if he would have taken the pill. Holmes tries to deny it, but Watson says that Holmes gets his kicks risking his life to prove that he is clever, which just proves that he is an idiot like the rest of the human race. At that moment, the tall man who kidnapped Watson appears and Holmes recognises him. He wants Holmes to join forces with him, to which Holmes refuses, and the man tells him to stop being childish because that upset Mummy. Holmes then introduces Watson to his brother, Mycroft. Mycroft insists that hes actually a minor British government ofcial, but Sherlock informs Watson that he is no such thing. Holmes and Watson walk away to a Dim Sum dinner while they talk about the new mystery man: Moriarty. Mycroft makes a note with his PA to upgrade the surveillance status, not on Holmes, but on Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson.

Summary:

Sunday August 1, 2010 Steve Thompson Euros Lyn Benedict Cumberbatch (Sherlock Holmes), Martin Freeman (Dr John Watson) Una Stubbs (Mrs Hudson), Loo Brealey (Molly Hooper) Al Weaver (Andy Galbraith), Gillian Elisa (Surgery Receptionist), Stefan Pejic (Box Ofce Manager), Jacqui Chan (Shopkeeper), John MacMillan (Community Ofcer), Janice Acquah (Museum Director), Jack Bence (Raz), Howard Coggins (Brian Lukis), Daniel Percival (Eddie Van Coon), Olivia Poulet (Amanda), Sarah Lam (Opera Singer), Gemma Chan (Soo Lin Yao), Zoe Telford (Sarah), Paul Chequer (DI Dimmock), Bertie Carvel (Seb Wilkes), Philip Benjamin (German Tourist) Sherlock and Watson work on deciphering deadly symbols that are covering the walls around London, killing everyone who sees them within hours, before any further victim succumbs to the mysterious Black Lotus.

Soo Lin Yao works at a museum demonstrating the tea ceremony. Afterward, her co-worker Andy Gilbraith asks her out for a drink, but she turns him down and says that he wouldnt like her very much if he knew her. Soo Lin then tells him to stop asking her out. That night, Soo Lin is working late when she hears someone moving. She goes to investigate and nds a statue covered with a cloth. When she pulls the cloth away, she stares in shock at whats underneath. John is trying to buy groceries at the store and the machine gives him problems. Meanwhile, at home Sherlock battles a robed swordsman and nally knocks him out. When John nally comes home, he complains that he had a row with a machine, and that Sherlock hasnt moved all date. Sherlock admits that he turned down a case about a diamond and gave the messenger a refusal. As he does, he shoves a sword beneath the chair. John notices that Holmes is using his computer to check his e-mail. John asks for money, and Sherlock says he has to go to the bank. John and Sherlock go to the bank and meet with an old university friend of Sherlocks, Sebastian, who invited Sherlock to check out a case. He explains that someone broke into their former chairmans empty ofce and painted grafti on the walls. Sebastian shows them the room, and two symbols, one on a painting and one on the wall nearby. The building is sealed and the CCTV shows no one in the room within 60 seconds. He offers to pay Sherlock to nd the hole in their security. Sherlock turns down the money, but John quickly accepts. Sherlock takes photos of the room and then steps out on the balcony and considers the street far below. He then walks through the ofce, guring out who has a line of sight to the chairmans ofce. He nds one ofce and removes the name sign of Edward Van Coon, of the Hong Kong division. As he leaves with John, he explains that the grafti was a message to someone, and 9

Sherlock Episode Guide Van Coon was the only one who could see the room when the message was left. They go to Van Coons address and Sherlock convinces a new neighbor to let him in. He then climbs from her balcony to Van Coons apartment. Van Coon is dead in his bedroom, an apparent suicide. DI Dimmock arrives with the forensics squad, and Sherlock suggests it wasnt suicide. He nds a black paper ower in the dead mans mouth. Dimmock believes its suicide, but Sherlock points out all the evidence that shows Van Coon was left-handed, but the bullet wound was on his right side. He tells Dimmock that Van Coon red at his killer as he came in through the open window, and tells Dimmock to conrm that the bullet wound came from another gun. Journalist Brian Lukis runs into his apartment, locking the doors behind him. He turns and stares in horror at something. Andy is working at the museum when the director informs him that Soo Lin resigned. Andy goes to her apartment in Chinatown and knocks on the door, but doesnt get an answer. He writes a note on museum stationary and places it in the mail slot. John applies for a job at a surgery and admits to the doctor, Sarah, that he needs the money. She warns that its mundane, but he insists thats ne and she hires him. He returns and nds Sherlock contemplating the case. He informs John of Lukis death, in a locked room, and believes its the same killer. They go to Lukis home and discover a black paper lotus lying on the oor. Sherlock realizes that the killer came in through the window, and is an expert climber. He ran along a ledge to get into the bank. Sherlock nds a book recently checked out from the West Kensington Library and goes there with John. They look for the books that Lukis checked out, and nd more of the painted grafti on the nearby shelf. Back at 221B, Sherlock and John try to piece together the clues. Sherlock realizes that the grafti symbols are ciphers, and that they are an ancient code. He and John go to talk to an expert, a street grafti artist named Raz. Raz identies the paint but has no idea what the ciphers represent. He agrees to do some inquiries. The community ofcers come around and Raz and Sherlock run off, leaving John holding the bag with Razs paint. John returns home later, annoyed that hes been given community service, and Sherlock sends him to the Scotland Yard to check on Lukis personal effects. Meanwhile, he goes to see Van Coons personal assistant, Amanda. She has all of his receipts, but notes that there is a gap in her boss schedule. Dimmock complains about Sherlock and gives John Lukis diary. Sherlock talks to Amanda, who admits that Van Coon wasnt appreciate of her. He notices a bottle of expensive hand cream that Van Coon bought for her. The receipts show that Van Coon took a taxi to the West End, but came back on the Underground. That signies Van Coon was carrying something heavy, and then stopped at a restaurant after he made the delivery. Sherlock goes to the street and runs into John, who has gotten the address from Lukis diary. The journalist visited the Lucky Cat Emporium, as did Van Coon. Inside, they discover that many of the goods have numbers on them, in the same symbols as the ciphers. They realize that the numbers are in Hang Zhou, an ancient Chinese dialect only used by traders. The numbers at the bank are 15 and 1. As they leave, a woman takes photos of them. Sherlock and John go to a restaurant across the street for lunch, and Sherlock deduces that both men brought something back from China. Both of them were smugglers, and the Lucky Cat was their dropoff. The two men were murdered because someone stole something from his employer. Sherlock is distracted when he notices a wet phonebook package next to an apartment door adjacent to the Lucky Cat. He climbs up the re escape and goes inside through an open window, ignoring Johns pleas to open the door. Going over the apartment, Sherlock realizes that the killer came in, and hasnt left. The killer ambushes Sherlock and chokes him to the point of unconsciousness, drops a black paper lotus on the oor, and then leaves. Sherlock staggers downstairs and opens the door for John.

Sherlock travels to Minsk to consider the case of an alleged murderer, Bewick, who claims that he murdered his girlfriend by accident. Sherlock is more offended by his crimes against good grammar than by the crime itself. He leaves, smugly informing Bewick that he will soon be hanged, not hung. At Baker Street, a bored Sherlock is reduced to shooting holes in the wall. When John comes in, he discovers a decapitated head in the fridge, one of Sherlocks experiments. Sherlock complains that in Johns blog of their rst adventure, A Study in Pink, he described him as ignorant in certain areas, and insists he doesnt need a knowledge of astronomy to solve crimes. John goes out and Mrs. Hudson comes in. She sympathizes with Sherlocks disgust for a boring life, and assures him that hell no doubt soon have a murder to investigate. As she leaves, an explosion rocks the building across the street, shattering the windows behind Sherlock. The next morning, John wakes up at Sarahs at, where hes spent the night on the couch. As they irt, they watch a newscast and John spots a piece on the explosion. He rushes back to the apartment and discovers that Sherlock is okay, and meeting with his brother Mycroft.

As soon as Mycroft leaves, Sherlock gets a call from Lestrade, informing him that the explosion was deliberate. 13

Sherlock Episode Guide Sherlock and John go to Scotland Yard and Lestrade shows them a strongbox from the apartment. It survived the blast, and contains an envelope addressed to Sherlock. Inside is a pink phone, like the one from their earlier case. There is a voice mail with ve Greenwich pips, and a photo of an empty apartment. Sherlock explains that pips, or seeds, were signs used by various secret societies. He recognizes the empty room in the photo and leaves with John and Lestrade... to Baker Street. Holmes opens the basement door and John and Lestrade go down with him to the empty apartment, the same one as in the photo. The only thing there are a pair of trainers. As Holmes kneels to examine them, the pink phone rings. The number is blocked, and Holmes answers. A woman at the other end is crying, and reads a message from the person who is typing what to say. She relays that the person left him a clue, and says that Sherlock has 12 hours to solve the mystery. In a car, the woman looks down at the bombs fastened to her and hangs up. Sherlock goes to St. Bartholomew and examines the trainers, while Watson worries about the woman. However, Sherlock insists that they have to focus on the case. He gets a text from Mycroft asking about the Bruce Partington plans, but Sherlock tells Watson to ignore them. Molly comes in and introduces her boyfriend, Jim. Jim, an IT worker, is impressed with Sherlock based on what Molly has told him. Sherlock mutters that hes gay. Jim tells Molly that hell meet her later at the tavern and leaves. Once hes gone, Molly complains and Sherlock explains how he deduced that Jim is gay, including the fact that he left Sherlock his phone number, and that hes just saving Molly time. Once Molly leaves, Sherlock invites John to examine the trainers, insisting that he can use a second opinion. John begins examining them, deducing that they belong to a child with large feet. Sherlock congratulates him, but notes that he missed almost everything. He explains that the shoes are 20 years old but well kept, and the mud and pollen on them indicates that they came from Sussex. Sherlock remembers Carl Powers, a young kid in 1980 who drowned in a pool and what appeared to be an accident. Sherlock was a kid himself at the time, and he realized at the time that there was something wrong because the shoes werent there. At the time, the police dismissed Sherlocks suspicions. Back at Baker Street, there are ve hours left and Sherlock goes over the clippings. Mycroft texts Sherlock via Johns cell phone, but Sherlock still doesnt believe the missile plans are important. He sends John to deal with it. John meets with Mycroft to collect more facts about the missing missile plans. Mycroft tells him that the dead man was a MI-6 clerk, involved in the c e Lucy the previous Bruce- Partington project in a minor capacity, and last seen with his ancA night. He was found at Battersea, is skull bashed in, but didnt have a ticket. John lies and insists that Sherlock is completely focused on the case. With three hours left, Sherlock realizes that Carl Powers was poisoned. He explains that Carl suffered from eczema, someone poisoned his medication, and he had a t and drowned two hours later. Sherlock posts the results on his web site so that the bomber will realize they solved the case. The woman calls back and relays the message to come and get her. She tells them where she is, and the police send a bomb squad to save her. The next day, Lestrade explains to Sherlock and John that the woman was given a pager, and a sniper would have set off the bombs if she hadnt read the messages, or if Sherlock failed to solve the case. Sherlock gets another cell phone with a photo of an abandoned car. As Lestrade checks the plates, Donovan tells Sherlock that he has another call. Its another man, relaying messages from the bomber. The hostage is in the street, rigged with explosives beneath his coat. The bomber sends a message that Sherlock only has eight hours to solve his next message, and not to rely on the police. The police nd the car near the docks, and determine it was a hired car that belonged to a banker, Ian Monkford. He left his home, and theres blood in the car.

Sherlock realizes that shes talking about her husband in the past tense, and goes to Janus Cars, the company that loaned the car to Ian. The owner, Ewart, claims that he didnt know Monkford. Sherlock notes that he has a tan and must have gone on holiday, but Ewart says that he uses a tanning bed. Sherlock then asks for change for the cigarette machine, but Ewart shows him his wallet and says he doesnt have any change. As they go, Sherlock says that he needed to see inside of Ewarts wallet, and now knows that hes a liar. 14

Sherlock Episode Guide At the lab, Sherlock examines the blood samples from the car. With three hours left, Sherlock takes John and Lestrade to the car, and explains that there was exactly a pint of blood, and it was frozen. Janus Cars arranges for people to disappear, and Sherlock gures that Monkford is in Columbia. Ewart had a Columbian bank note in his wallet, and a tan from being in Columbia settling Monkford in. Mrs. Monkford is in n it as well. Sherlock tells Lestrade to arrest her and then goes to notify the bomber via his website. Once Sherlock has posted the solution, the new hostage calls to tell Sherlock that he can come and fetch him. John and Sherlock go for a meal, and John wonders if its Moriarty. Sherlocks phone rings and someone sends him a photo of a woman. Sherlock has no idea what it is, but John recognizes her from the television. As he turns on the television, an elderly woman calls and relays a message that his new hostage is blind, and Sherlock has 12 hours to solve the new case, which is a funny one. When Sherlock asks why the bomber is doing it, he says that he likes watching Sherlock dance. Sherlock and John turn to the television, which is announcing the death of television makeover artist Connie Prince, who died from tetanus after working in her garden. At the morgue, Sherlock realizes that Connies corpse has a deep cut on her hand, but its clean. He asks John to check the body, and Lestrade wants to know what theyre dealing with. Sherlock explains that theyre dealing with something new. With three hours left, Sherlock tries to gure out what connects the hostages. The hostage calls and the bomber says that Sherlock is enjoying himself. John goes to the Prince home to talk to her brother Kenny, posing as a reporter. Sherlock focuses on the Prince case and brings up a netcast of her show. Her brother is on the show, posing for her makeovers. According to fan gossip, he hated her. At the Prince home, Connies brother explains that Connie left her the home, but he has no idea what hes going to do without her. He notices something and then calls Sherlock and tells him to pick up some stuff on the way. Sherlock arrives, posing as a photographer, and John secretly tells him that the bacteria got in separately. The Brother explains that the cats belonged to Connie, and John has him take photos of the cat. He gets Sherlock out and insists that it was the cat because its paws smell of disinfectant. John gures that Kenny treated the cats claws with tetanus bacteria and waited for his sister to be scratched. However, Sherlock says that its too random and too clever for the brother, and Raoul the houseboy killed Connie. Connie threatened to disinherit Kenny, and Raoul is Kennys lover. The cats claws smell of disinfectant because Raoul keeps a clean home. Sherlock goes to see Lestrade and explains that Raoul killed Connie with botulinum toxin. He gave Connie her botox injections, botox is diluted botulinum, and he simply upped the dosage. When John wonders when Sherlock knew, Sherlock says that he needed the extra time to focus on the bomber. He posts the cases solution on his website, and the hostage calls Sherlock. She starts to describe the bomber, despite Sherlocks warning, and the bomber shoots her and sets off the explosion. At Baker Street, Sherlock and John watch the news about the explosion, and Sherlock realizes that the bomber put himself on the line, when normally he avoids direct involvement. When John wonders what the bomber is up to, Sherlock suggests that he is looking for a distraction. John snaps at him, but Sherlock insists that caring wont help solve the case, so he doesnt waste time on it. He warns John not to make him a hero. A new call comes in with a photo of the Thames. John hesitates to assist, and Sherlock notes that he wont help because he cares. He then pinpoints the location and calls Lestrade. The police nd a corpse, and Sherlock and John arrive. However, the bombe hasnt called Sherlock yet. After surveying the scene, Sherlock starts checking Internet records. John examines the corpses and concludes that he was asphyxiated and dead for 24 hours. Sherlock explains that the water has destroyed most of the data, but the lost Vermeer painting is a fake. It turned up and is worth 30million pounds. Lestrade has no idea what hes talking about, and Sherlock talks about the Golem, the name of an assassin. The murder is his trademark style, and the corpse is wearing the uniform of a security guard. Further, the killer was interrupted before he could pull off an insignia. Further examination revealed a ticket stub in his pocket, indicating a museum or art gallery. The Hickman Gallery has reported a missing 15

Sherlock Episode Guide attendant, Alex Woodbridge. The Gallery is showing the Vermeer that night, and Woodbridge was killed because he knew something that would stop the sale. Sherlock sets off to nd the Golem, while wondering why the bomber hasnt contacted him. Sherlock has the cab pull over and goes up on a pier. He gives money to a homeless woman, tells John that hes investing, and then goes on to the gallery. When they get there, he tells John to check out the attendant and goes inside. John gets the attendants address from Lestrade and talks to his roommate. Woodbridge was an amateur astronomer, but didnt know anything about art. She says that someone left a message for Alex, and plays it back. Its Professor Cairns, who says that Alex was right. Mycroft calls and asks if theres any progress on the Bruce-Partington plans. At the Hickman Gallery, the owner, Mrs. Wenceslas, notices a guard studying the Vermeer. Its Sherlock, wearing a guards uniform. She insists that its not a fake but Sherlock says it is even if he cant prove it yet, and leaves. That night, Sherlock meets with John, who explains that Alex knew nothing about art and was an amateur astronomer. Sherlock is more interested in the woman he gave change to earlier. She slips him an address and he leaves, taking John with him. They go to a seedier part of town and Sherlock explains that he has established a homeless network and pays them for information. They notice a tall, skinny balding man, the Golem, but he gets away in a car before they can catch up to him. John says he knows where hes going. Professor Cairn is running a video of a planetarium. The Golem attacks her, but John and Sherlock arrive and call out. He releases Cairns and ees into the darkness, and then ambushes Sherlock. John draws his gun and tells the Golem to surrender. The Golem knocks him aside and the two men try to subdue the assassin. They fail and he ees. The next day at the gallery, Holmes insists that the Vermeer must be a fake, and Mrs. Wenceslas hired the Golem to kill Cairns and Woodbridge. Sherlock insists hes solved the case, and proof is jus a detail. A new hostage, a child, calls, and starts counting down from 10. Sherlock studies the painting and announces that its the Van Buren Supernova, which only appeared in the 19th century, not the 1640s when the Vermeer was painted. Woodbridge noticed it, and called Cairns to conrm. As Sherlock stalks off, Mycroft calls John to know how the Bruce-Partington case is coming. At the station, Wenceslas explains that she only wanted her share of the $30 million. She met a forger in Argentina, and eventually she was put in touch with people who worked for the mysterious bomber, who helped her set up the sale. However, she never met with him. Sherlock demands a name, and she nally tells them that it was Moriarty. John goes to where Andrew West was killed on the train tracks. He talks to one of the workers, and notices that there wasnt much blood. Once the worker leaves, John tries to piece together the events leading up to the murder. The points close, and Sherlock arrives to explain that West wasnt killed there. He explains that he didnt give up on the case, and has been following John. He then says they have some burglary to do. They go to a at belonging to a Joe Harrison. Harrison is Wests prospective brother-in-law, and Sherlock explains that he stole the memory stick. Harrison, a bike messenger, comes home and they capture him and demand an explanation. He explains that he killed West by accident. He started dealing drugs and ended up in debt. One night he went drinking with West, who boasted about the secret missile plans and showed Harrison the memory stick. Harrison stole it from his drunken brother-in-law, but West realized it later and confronted him. West accidentally died in the struggle, and then had the idea to place him on top of a train. When it hit a stretch of tracks with a curve and points, it fell off. Harrison turns over the memory stick, and Sherlock says that the distraction is over. They still have one more case to solve for the bomber. At Baker Street, Sherlock watches bad telly and refuses to admit that his lack of knowledge on astronomy slowed down his solution of the Vermeer case. He claims that he gave the memory stick back to Mycroft. As John goes to stay the night with Sarah, Sherlock posts the solution to the Bruce-Partington case on his website. He then tells the bomber to meet him at a pool at midnight to collect. Later, Sherlock goes to the pool where Carl Powers died, and holds up the memory stick. He realizes that the bomber carried out his entire campaign to distract him from nding the plans. John steps out from the shadows, and admits that his presence is a surprise. 16

Sherlock Episode Guide He then opens his coat and reveals that hes rigged with explosives, and asks the bomber what hes supposed to say next.

Summary:

Sherlock and John face Moriarty at the pool, and he changes his mind and tells his men to kill them. As Sherlock aims his gun at the vest wired with explosives, Moriartys phone rings. He apologetically asks if he can take it and Sherlock agrees. Moriarty hears what the caller has to say and screams at them, warning that if theyre lying, hell skin them alive. He then apologizes to Sherlock, telling him that its the wrong day for him to die. Rather than explain who called, Moriarty simply tells Sherlock that hell be hearing from him. He walks off, offering to make the caller rich if he or she has what he claimed. The snipers leave with their employer and Sherlock gures that someone changed Moriartys mind. In a private bedchamber, Irene Adler approaches a woman tied to her bed, addresses her as Her Highness, and prepares to discipline her with a riding crop. As the days and weeks move on, John updates his blog with their recent cases, while Sherlock tries to nd a case that isnt boring. One man has the ashes of his mother but insists that they arent really her mother, while two small girls wonder if their mother died. Lestrade calls them in on the case of a speckled blonde, which Sherlock refuses to investigate. Hes stumped by another of Lestrades cases, about a suspected terrorist who brought down a ight in Germany, but died in a car boot outside of London. John continues to update his blog, much to Sherlocks chagrin since hed rather post about tobacco ash than his failures. 21

Sherlock Episode Guide At another case, Lestrade calls Sherlock and John to a theater. They try to slip out past the press, who are touting Sherlock as the net detective. He grabs a prop hat from a stand and tries to get out using it to cover his features, but fails. Irene Adler sees the photograph in the newspaper and calls someone, saying that its time. Sherlocks next case arrives in the form of a shocked man, Phil, who arrives at their doorstep. He explains that his car stalled in the countryside. A hiker in a red jacket was standing in a nearby empty eld, and didnt hear Phil when he called to him for help. Phil tried to start his car again and it backred, and when he looked at the hiker a few seconds later, he was dead. Lestrade calls the DI in charge, Carter, and suggests that he let Sherlock examine the crime scene. However, Sherlock refuses to leave the at and sends John with a laptop. John uses the laptop webcam to show Sherlock the scene, while someone keeps ringing the doorbell and Sherlock ignores it. The hiker is dead, apparently murdered, from a single blow to the back of the head by a blunt instrument. However, there is no such weapon present. Sherlock dismisses Carters suspicion that Phil is the murderer and directs the DI to check out the nearby stream. However, before Carter can do so, the two men at the door who have been ringing come in anyway. The lead man, Plummer, turns off Sherlocks laptop and tells him that hes coming with them. Sherlock, wrapped in a bedsheet with nothing on underneath, looks at Plummer and realizes where theyre going. At the eld, John is surprised to discover that someone has sent a helicopter to transport him. It takes him to Buckingham Palace where he is brought in to see Sherlock, still in his bedsheet. Mycroft comes in and tells them that he has a case for them. When Sherlock says that he already has a case, Mycroft points out that the solution to the hikers death is simple and his brother agrees. The Equerry comes in and tells them that his client, who wishes to remain anonymous, is a big fan of Johns blog. Sherlock refuses to work for an anonymous client and tries to leave, even after Mycroft steps on his bedsheet and leaves him naked. When Sherlock keeps going, Mycroft nally admits that his client is the highest in the land. Satised, Sherlock puts on his clothes and his brother tells him that they need him to recover some incriminating photos, and they cant trust the Secret Service or the police. Mycroft shows Sherlock photos of Irene and explains that shes been at the center of two scandals in the last year. Irene ruined a novelists marriage by having affairs with him and his wife simultaneously, and that she is a professional dominatrix known as The Woman. Irene is at home and receives photos of Sherlock going into Buckingham Palace. The Equerry and Mycroft reluctantly explain that Irene has compromising photos of a young female signicant to their client. However, although Irene has admitted she has the photos, she hasnt asked for any form of payment. Intrigued, Sherlock agrees to take the case, tells Mycroft to text him Irenes address, and asks the Equerry for a box of matches. He points out that the Equerrys employer smokes but wont explain how he knew, and leaves with John. Outside, he tosses John an ashtray as way of explanation for his deduction. Irene receives photos of Sherlock and John leaving Buckingham. She calls in her assistant Kate and tells her that they need to prepare for a visitor, and shell need a long time to get ready.

He asks to come in and call the police, claiming the muggers took his cell phone. When Kate lets him in, John comes in and claims to be a witness and a passing doctor. Kate takes Sherlock to the parlor and John to the kitchen to get the rst aid kit. Irene then comes in to see Sherlock... completely naked. She greets Sherlock by name and removes the collar. Seemingly unmoved at her nudity, Sherlock greets her and ignores her initial irtations. John comes in and is shocked, and Irene invites him to sit with them. As Irene sits down, Sherlock tries to observe her for clues but is stumped since she has nothing to give her away. They spar back and forth verbally until John nally asks Irene to put something on, and Sherlock offers her his coat. 22

Sherlock Episode Guide Irene starts by asking about the dead hiker, explaining that she knows a policeman and what he likes despite the fact the case hasnt been made public. She says they might as well talk about the hiker since they wont get the photos. Sherlock realizes that the photos are in the room and tells John to man the door and carry out their plan. As he does so, Sherlock returns to the hikers case and tells Irene that the backre was signicant because noises are important. The smoke alarm goes off as John lights a magazine, and Irene instinctively glances at a gilded mirror on the wall. Sherlock follows her gaze and explains that he knew shed look at the most important thing to her rst. He yells at John to shut off the re alarm, but three men come down the stairs and shoot it out. Unaware of whats going on outside, Sherlock examines the six-digit keypad lock. Still condent, Irene tells him that shes already told him the combination. The three men come in with John as their prisoner, and take Irene prisoner as well. Their leader, an American named Neilson, orders Sherlock to open the safe. He insists that he doesnt know it and suggests that they ask Irene, but Neilson gures that Irene has a second number programmed that will notify the police. When Sherlock is unable to open it, Neilson orders his man Archer to shoot John if Sherlock doesnt open it. Sherlock has no choice but to try and open the safe, and realizes what the correct combination is. He enters it but then ducks, realizing that Irene would have planted a trap. A mounted gun inside the safe res, hitting Archer. Sherlock knocks out Neilson while Irene takes out the third man. Sherlock takes the camera phone out of the safe, goes outside with John, and res two shots into the air to attract the police. The two men go back in and Irene demands that they return the camera phone. She claims that she has copies but Sherlock doesnt believe her, and discovers that the camera phone has a four-digit security code. Meanwhile, John checks on Kate and discovers that Neilson and his men knocked her out when they broke in through a bedroom window. Irene suggests that John check the back door, and then injects Sherlock with a hypodermic once his friend has left the room. She whips him with her riding crop until he drops the camera phone, and then takes it and heads for the window. As John returns, Irene assures him that she only gave Sherlock a sedative and hell recover in a few hours. She also points out that Sherlock was paying attention when she was naked, since the safes combination was her measurements. As Sherlock is taken back to Baker Street to rest, he imagines Irene coming in, returning his coat, and telling him that the hiker was killed by a thrown boomerang, which fell into the nearby stream and was washed away. He wakes up and John tells him that Irene wasnt there. However, as John leaves, Sherlocks cell phone rings from his coat pocket. The ring tone is a womans breathy sigh. He checks the text message and discovers that it says, Till next time, Mr. Holmes. The next morning, Mycroft comes to see Sherlock, who assures him that the photos are safe with Irene. Mycroft doesnt believe it but Sherlock insists that he should leave Irene alone. Sherlocks cell phone rings again with the same breathy sigh and he takes it, while pointing out that Mycroft knew that the Americans, CIA-trained, would be there when Sherlock and John went to recover the photos. Mycroft takes a call and talks to someone about Coventry and Bond, while John asks Sherlock about the strange ring tone. While Sherlock tells his friend that someone personalized the caller ID, Mycroft nishes his call and his brother asks what Irene has that the Americans want. He gures that there is something bigger involved, but Mycroft tells him that Irene is no longer Sherlocks concern. On Christmas Eve, Sherlock and John invite Lestrade, Mrs. Hudson, Johns girlfriend Jeanette, and Molly to their celebration at the at. Sherlock cant help deducting, pointing out that Lestrades wife is having an affair and Johns sister is still drinking. He also notices that the counter on Johns web site has changed since the last time he saw it. Molly comes in and Sherlock spots one of her presents, and concludes from that and her fancy dress that shes going to see a boyfriend after their party. However, he then realizes that the present is for him. Molly starts crying and Sherlock actually apologizes, kissing her on the cheek and wishing her a Merry Christmas. However, Irene sends another text message and Molly apologizes, saying the sigh isnt hers. John points out that Sherlock has now received 57 separate text messages from the caller. The new one says Mantelpiece, and Sherlock nds a present for him there. He takes it into his bedroom and discovers that its Irenes camera phone. Realizing what it means, Sherlock calls Mycroft and tells him that theyll nd Irene that night, dead. Later, Mycroft and Sherlock go to the morgue to meet with Molly, who warns that the womans corpse is badly beaten. Sherlock glances at the naked body and immediately conrms that its 23

Sherlock Episode Guide Irene, much to Mollys surprise and suspicion. Out in the hallway, Mycroft offers his brother a cigarette and asks how knew Irene would turn up dead. Sherlock explains that he received the camera phone and knew that Irene chose to give it up. Mycroft focuses on the photos on the camera and Sherlock wonders why they dont care about death. Mycroft says that theres no advance to caring, and Sherlock walks away while wishing him a Merry Christmas. Once hes gone, Mycroft calls John and asks if hes found the camera phone. John hasnt, and asks if he should stay with Sherlock because he has other plans. Mycroft simply insists and cuts off. John apologizes to Jeanette, who angrily points out that he care more for Sherlock than her and then walks out. When Sherlock comes in, hes well aware that John has checked his room for the camera phone. He starts playing his violin and doesnt stop throughout the week. When John tries to talk to him, Sherlock is more interested in the fact that the blog counter hasnt changed. He enters the counter number on Irenes camera phone and discovers that its the incorrect code and that he only gets three more attempts. As John leaves, he asks Mrs. Hudson if Sherlock has had any kind of relationship, with a man or a woman, and the housekeeper points out that neither one of them know what goes on in Sherlocks head. John leaves the at and nds a beautiful woman that he doesnt recognize waiting for him. She asks if he has any New Years Eve plans that night and John agrees. However, when a fancy car immediately pulls up, John assumes that shes another of Mycrofts representatives. They go to an abandoned factory and the woman directs John ahead to a power room. As he goes, she calls her employer and tells her that John assumed that she works for Mycroft. John goes to the power room and nds Irene waiting for him. He insists that she tell Sherlock that shes alive, and then wonders how she faked the corpse. Irene tells him that she was able to fake the DNA records and asks for Johns hope getting the camera phone. All she will tell him is that Sherlock is at risk while he has it and she made a mistake sending it to him. John refuses to help her and again tells her to tell Sherlock that shes alive. When Irene wonders what to say, she admits that shes been sending irtatious text messages to Sherlock but he never replied. She asks John if hes jealous, and then gives in and sends Sherlock a text message inviting him to dinner. They hear the breathy ring tone outside and realize that Sherlock followed John there and knows Irene is alive. Sherlock returns to Bake Street and discovers that the lock has been forced. Signs on the stairs indicate that three men grabbed Mrs. Hudson and hauled her upstairs. When Sherlock enters the ats, he nds Neilson holding a gun to Mrs. Hudsons head. He asks for the camera phone and Sherlock conrms that he beat Mrs. Hudson to get her to reveal its location. He tells the American to send his men out so they can negotiate and Neilson reluctantly agrees. Once theyre alone, Sherlock tells Neilson to search him for a weapon and the American gets close enough for Sherlock to knock him out. When John arrives home, he discovers that Sherlock has put up a sign saying Crime in progress. Please disturb. Upstairs, he discovers that Sherlock has tied Neilson to a chair. Sherlock tells John to take Mrs. Hudson downstairs. Once hes alone with Neilson, Sherlock calls Lestrade and tells him that a burglar broke in, and he accidentally fell out the window. Downstairs, John is tending to Mrs. Hudson when Neilson falls past the window and hits the ground. Lestrade arrives and has his men take the injured Neilson away. Sherlock goes to check on Mrs. Hudson and makes sure that shes okay, and then has her return the camera phone that he left with her for safekeeping. When John suggests that she stay with her sister, Sherlock insists that Mrs. Hudson stay with them and she agrees. Back in their at, John asks Sherlock where hes rehidden the camera phone and Sherlock assures him that its in the one place that no one will ever look. He wants to focus on the photos but John asks him how he feels about learning that Irene is still alive. Sherlock ignores the question and plays the violin as the new year comes in. Irene is on the street when Sherlock sends her a text message wishing her a Happy New Year. Sometime later, Sherlock goes to the morgue and uses the equipment to x-ray the camera phone. Molly wonders if belongs to his girlfriend, but Sherlock notes that it would be silly to x-ray his girlfriends camera phone. He gets an idea and enters 221B as the code, but it also fails with two attempts remaining. Back at home, Sherlock hears crying from his bedroom. When John comes home, Sherlock reveals that Irene is their new client. She tells them that there are people who want her dead and 24

Sherlock Episode Guide asks for her camera phone. Sherlock says that he rented a safety deposit box several months ago, and John assumes that the camera phone is there and comes up with an elaborate plan to get it to Baker Street. Sherlock congratulates him and then takes out the camera phone from his pocket. He asks Irene whats on it, but all she will say is that there are items on it she can use to protect herself. Irene refuses to give Sherlock the passcode and he nally hands it over to her. She enters the passcode to conrm that it hasnt been tampered with, but Sherlock tells her that he gave her a duplicate. He enters the passcode into the real camera phone, but it doesnt work and Irene tells him that she knew immediately that the camera phone wasnt hers. Sherlock still has the camera phone and Irene nally explains that it contains an email from one of her clients, a Minister of Defense, who showed it off and claimed that it would save the world. The email has the title 007 Conrmed Allocation and an alphanumeric character string. After a seconds analysis, Sherlock explains that its a seating chart for a 747 leaving Heathrow and going to Baltimore at 6:30 the next day. Impressed, Irene offers to make him beg for mercy during sex but Sherlock merely has John conrm his deduction. When John says that the 007 refers to the ight number, Sherlock realizes that it is connected to Bond and Mycrofts earlier phone conversation. Hes unaware that Irene is sending a secret text message with the information to... Moriarty. When he receives the message, Moriarty sends a message of his own to Mycroft, dismissing the plan and stunning Mycroft. Meanwhile, Sherlock concentrates and realizes that Mycroft was talking about the ight and Coventry. John leaves and Irene is there, and he explains that Coventry relates to World War II, when the Germans sent a coded message that they were bombing Coventry. The British intercepted the message but let the bombing continue rather than reveal they had broken the code. Irene takes Sherlocks hand and asks if he would like dinner, but he doesnt understand why they should have dinner if he isnt hungry. He takes her hand and strokes her wrist, and Irene asks if he would have dinner with her if it were the last night on Earth. Before he can answer, Plummer comes in and tells Sherlock that hell be coming with him again, and gives him a ticket for Flight 007 to Baltimore. As Plummer drives Sherlock to Heathrow, Sherlock explains that the British and the Americans both knew that terrorists had planted a bomb on Flight 007. Rather than give away that they had an inside source, both countries decided to let the ight continue and the bomb explode. When they arrive at Heathrow, Neilson is there and clearly unhappy that Sherlock is involved. Sherlock goes inside and discovers that all of the passenger seats are lled with longdead corpses. Mycroft comes in and explains that he came up with a solution to the Coventry problem: send up a ight with dead passengers so that no one would be killed when the bomb would be blown off. Sherlock had already been inadvertently involved with the case, since the clients with dead relatives had people on the plane. The dead man in the trunk had inadvertently missed the German ight, which was brought down by the same terrorists. However, now the plan is in ruins because Sherlock decoded the email for Irene, and she sent the information to Moriarty. As Mycroft apologizes for sending Sherlock after Irene, Irene comes in and casually brushes past Sherlock .She tells Mycroft that she has enough information on the camera phone to bring down the government. Back at Mycrofts ofce, Irene negotiates and warns that they cant get to the information without her. Sherlock is forced to conrm that the camera phone will selfdestruct, and that Irene has at least two codes to give up in case she is tortured, and one of them will destroy the information. When Mycroft is willing to let the information destruct, Irene points out that some of it could save British lives. However, she refuses to conrm if that is the information she actually has. Irene gives Mycroft a list of her demands, which include a considerable amount of money, and insists on an immediate answer. As Mycroft considers, Irene explains that Moriarty is the one who told her how to play both Holmes brothers. As Mycroft gives in and congratulates Irene, Sherlock interrupts and tells him to stop. He tells Irene that she got carried away and felt love for him. Irene says that she doesnt feel anything toward him, but Sherlock explains that earlier at the apartment he checked her pulse and eye dilation and conrmed that she actually had feelings for him. He then picks up the camera phone, telling Irene that she could have entered any random number and gotten away with her scheme. However, she let her heart ruler her head. When Irene tells him that nothing she said was real and it was all just a game. Sherlock tells her that she lost the game and enters the 25

Sherlock Episode Guide correct passcode: SHER. He gives the camera phone to Mycroft and suggests that they let Irene go, since she wont last six months without her protection. Irene begs for their help but Sherlock merely says that he wont be able to have dinner with her and leaves. A few months later, John nds Mycroft waiting for him. They go into the cafe beneath the at and Mycroft shows John the le on Irene, including her camera phone. He tells John that Irene negotiated with the Americans and entered a witness relocation plan, and that the le is closed. John points out that Sherlock doesnt care and that he will only refer to Irene as the Woman, but Mycroft concludes that Sherlock is using it as a title of respect. They both gure that Sherlock will be ne with the news... and then Mycroft says that its the story they should tell him. The truth is that Irene was beheaded by a terrorist cell two months ago. He gives John the le and asks him what they should tell Sherlock. Sherlock is hard at work, when John comes in and tells him that Mycroft has news about Irene. He hesitates and then gives Sherlock the story about the witness relocation plan. Sherlock tells his friend that he has no interest in seeing her, but does ask for the camera phone. John reluctantly hands it over and asks if Irene ever texted him again. Sherlock says that she sent one last message a few months ago, Goodbye, Mr. Holmes. After John leaves, Sherlock brings up all of the text messages that Irene sent him. Two Months Earlier Irene is awaiting decapitation at the hands of the terrorist and sends her last message to Sherlock. However, the hooded executioner tells her that she should run. She looks up and realizes that its Sherlock, and he starts swinging his sword at the terrorists. Now Sherlock puts the camera phone away and smiles admiringly, muttering, The Woman.

When he and John Watson arrive on the moors to investigate, they discover a top-secret army base.

Young Henry runs through the woods, the screams of his father being ripped apart echoing in his head. He nally nds an old woman on the moors, walking her dog, and she asks what is wrong. When the dog moves toward Young Henry he screams. In the present, Henry Knight is standing on the moors and starts to move off, startled. Sherlock enters 221B Baker Street, covered in blood and holding a harpoon. After he cleans up, Sherlock begins pacing nervously, demanding that John nd him some cigarettes. After John warns him that no one in a two-mile-radius would sell him any, Sherlock tears the place up looking for his cigarettes. Mrs. Hudson claims to have no idea where they are, and storms out when Sherlock points out that the diner owner shes seeing has a wife. John tells his friend to go after her and apologize, but Sherlock complains that hes bored now that he has no case and needs some kind of diversion. The only case he has on the blog is a request to nd a missing rabbit that glows in the dark. The doorbell rings and they realize they have a client. Henry comes in and shows them a recording of a broadcast about Dartmoor, the Grimpen Moor, and a biochemical weapons research base. It is rumored to have been used for the Baskerville Experiments. One of the interviewees is Henry, who talks about how he saw a savage hound on the moor when he was 9. Sherlock cuts it off and asks Henry what he saw, and he talks about how his father took him there for walks after Henrys mother died. At Dewars Hollow, a local landmark named after the Devil, Henry saw his father attacked and killed by a huge black hound with glowing red eyes. They found Young Henry the next morning, wandering on the moor, and his fathers body was never found. Sherlock jokingly suggests that a genetic mutation was responsible, but Henry tells him that his father was always talking about the monsters they were breeding at the Baskerville base. 27

Sherlock Episode Guide John asks why he came to them 20 years ago, and Sherlock deduces that something happened the previous night. He explains all of the signs, including the fact that Henry hasnt smoked yet that day, and invites him to do so. As Henry lights up, Sherlock lurks over him and inhales the smoke, while John suggests that Henry might have invented the trauma of a hound attacking his father. Henry notes that his therapist, Dr. Louise Mortimer, has said the same thing and suggested that he go back to Dartmoor to face his fears. He tells them that he saw the footprints on the spot where his father was torn apart, and Sherlock dismisses it as a boring case, guring they were paw prints and probably nothing. As he walks off, Henry tells him that they were the footprints of a gigantic hound. Sherlock is intrigued by the exact words that Henry used and has him repeat them. Upon hearing them again, Sherlock agrees to take the case. When John wonders what changed his mind, Sherlock doesnt say but tells Henry that hes busy in London so hes going to send John in his stead. John points out that he doesnt have any cases and Sherlock says that hell be investigating the missing rabbit. However, John gives him his cigarettes and Sherlock announces that the case is so intriguing that hell go with John and follow Henry to Dartmoor. They soon depart, pausing only to watch Mrs. Hudson argue with the diner owner that shes been dating. Sherlock and John drive to Dartmoor and identify the local landmarks, including Grimpen Village and the Baskerville military base, the latter protected by a mineeld. When the two men arrive in the village to take a room, they discover that the locals are doing business the tourists, promoting the Hound. Henry is meeting with Dr. Mortimer and relating his dreams of the Hound. He also manages to recall the words Liberty in from his dreams but Mortimer claims to have no idea what it means. John collects the key to their room from the pub owner, Gary, and notices an invoice for meat supplies on the spindle. While Sherlock looks around the pub, John secretly the invoice and then asks about the skull and crossbones on the map of the Moor. Gary explains that it indicates the Grimpen Mineeld, and admits that hes thankful for the story about Gary and his demon hound. The owner directs them to Fletcher, the tour guide who claims to have seen the Hound. Meanwhile, his bartender Billy talks about his nervousness, given the presence of the Hound as well as an escaped prisoner. Sherlock goes out to talk to Fletcher and asks if hes seen the Hound. Fletcher avoids answering his questions, but when John comes out, Sherlock tells him that they had a bet that Fletcher couldnt prove hed seen the Hound. John plays along and Fletcher tells them that he saw it a month ago and shows them a camera phone picture. Sherlock dismisses it as unconvincing and Fletcher insists that it escaped from Baskerville. He nally tells them about a friend with the MoD that showed up late, white as a sheet, and claimed he had seen something. After that he was sent to a secret government base, possibly Baskerville, and when he got out he had seen giant mutated animals. Fletcher nishes his story by showing Sherlock a plaster cast of the Hounds paw print. Next, Sherlock and John drive to Baskerville. Sherlock gets them in using an ID he stole from Mycroft, much to Johns surprise. They gure they have 20 minutes until the military realizes something is wrong. Corporal Lyons of Security comes over to greet them, explaining that he was notied when the badge conrmed who they were. He explains that they dont have inspections, and John bluffs his way through presenting his own Army ID. Lyons warns that Major Barrymore wont be pleased that they are there, but gives in and provides a tour. Lyons takes the two men in past security into a white sterile lab where numerous animals are kept in cages. Dr. Frankland comes over and chats with them briey before departing. Sherlock notices a lift and Lyons says that it leads to the garbage bins. John asks Lyons what theyre doing there and he explains that they are doing all matter of research, but most of it weaponsbased. He then takes them to see Dr. Stapleton, but she hesitates to tell them what shes doing. When Sherlock makes a few veiled threats, Stapleton admits that she does genetic research. He nally recognizes her name and shows her the name of the missing rabbit, and asks why it had to die. Stapleton has no idea why theyre interested in her daughters rabbit and ask who they are. Sherlock realizes that their window of opportunity is over and heads out. The security check nally raises a ag and the base security call Mycroft. He realizes who is responsible and calls Sherlock, who is heading into the elevator with John and Lyons. They nd Frankland on the elevator and take it up, only to nd Barrymore waiting for them. He is angry that he wasnt told about the inspection and the two men try to bluff their way through, 28

Sherlock Episode Guide while Mycroft continues to send his brother text messages asking what hes doing. Lyons gets an alert and sets off the alarms, and Barrymore prepares to arrest them. However, Frankland steps forward and identies Sherlock as Mycroft. Barrymore shuts down the alarm but warns that its on Franklands head. Frankland takes them out and explains that he realized they were connected to Henry. Hes well aware of Sherlock from his web site, and explains that he knows Henry primarily through his father, a good friend. Frankland gives Sherlock his cell number and offers any help that he can. Sherlock asks what he does at Baskerville and Frankland refuses to answer. He also refuses to discuss Stapleton and Sherlock tells him that hell be in touch. As John and Sherlock drive to Henrys home, Sherlock explains that Dr. Stapleton experimented on her daughters rabbit, giving it a uorescent gene. He wonders if shes been working on something deadlier than a rabbit. Henry greets them at the house and ushers them in, and John is surprised to discover that their client is rich. They have tea and Henry tells them of the two words he saw, liberty in. They mean nothing to Sherlock, who tells them their plan: theyll take Henry out onto the moor at night and see if anything attacks him. Neither Henry nor John is thrilled with his plan. That night, the three men cross the moor to Dewars Hollow. John hears something moving behind them and goes to investigate, and sees a light ashing at the top of the hill. He calls to Sherlock but discovers that hes lost them in the woods. Realizing that the mysterious signaler is using Morse code, John takes down the letters, which spell UMQRA. The light goes out and John goes after his friend. As they approach the hollow, Sherlock mentions that he met Henrys friend, Dr. Frankland. Henry dismisses him as a worried and notes that Frankland has been kind to him since he came back. When Sherlock wonders how they got along given that Henrys father distrusted Baskerville, Henry explains that the two friends agreed to never talk about work. John walks through the woods and nds a metal pipe dripping water. Something moves behind him and an unearthly howl echoes through the forest. Sherlock and Henry climb down into the hollow and hear something above. For a brief second Sherlock catches a glimpse of some animal on the edge. Sherlock goes up as John arrives, and he insists that he didnt see anything, much to Henrys surprise. Back at Henrys estate, Henry insists to John that Sherlock must have seen something and wonders why he would lie. John has him sit down and prepares to give him a sedative, but Henry is satised that hes not insane and that Sherlock saw the same thing that he did. John goes back to the pub where Sherlock is seated at the replace. He asks his friend what UMQRA might mean, but realizes that Sherlock is deeply disturbed. Sherlock nally admits that he saw the Hound and that he cant account for it. Hes surprised and shocked that hes feeling fear but shouts that theres nothing wrong with him. Sherlock analyzes a nearby son and mother, deducing everything he can from them to prove that his intellect is unshaken. He snaps at John, saying he doesnt have friends, and John walks outside. He sees the same light ashing out on the moor and goes out after it. Henry wakes up and has another ash of the two words. John follows the ashing light and discovers that its the headlights of a car parked on the local Lovers Lane. As he goes back to the pub, Sherlock sends him a text message saying that Dr. Templeton is at the pub. He asks if John will interview her. When John wonders why he should, Sherlock sends him a photo of the attractive doctor. Unable to sleep, Henry watches the television. All of the outside lights come up and then go off after a few seconds. They come back on again and then go off, and an animal moves through the shadows, startling Henry. He goes to the patio window and the lights come up again and something slams into the glass. Henry jumps back in fear as the lights go out again and then collapses to the oor. At the pub, John irts with Dr. Templeton as they share a bottle of wine. He freely admits that he knows henry and asks Templeton about her, but she insists she cant talk about her patient. John persists, asking about Henrys father and whether he was a conspiracy theorist who was xated on Baskerville. Templeton doesnt want to talk about Henry and John explains that he has a friend who has the same problem. Before the doctor can respond, Frankland comes over and asks about the investigation. He cheerfully explains that John works with Sherlock, a private detective. Realizing what John is up to, Templeton walks away in disgust. 29

Sherlock Episode Guide The next morning, Sherlock goes to see Henry and offers to make him coffee. Henry asks why Sherlock lied about seeing the Hound, and Sherlock tells him that he took the case before Henry used the archaic term hound. Sherlock then walks outside past the nearby graveyard and notices John inside. He tries to talk to his friend about the case but John refuses to humor him. Sherlock tries to apologize for the previous night, explaining that he felt doubt for the rst time. John tells him that he can investigate it if he wishes and walks away. Sherlock calls after him saying that he meant what he said and that he doesnt have friends, but just one friend. John keeps walking but Sherlock suddenly congratulates him, saying that hes given him an idea. He suggests that HOUND is an acronym, accounting for Henrys use of the term. As they return to the pub, John and Sherlock discover that Lestrade is there. He says that hes on holiday but Sherlock realizes that Mycroft sent him. Lestrade insists that he doesnt work for Mycroft, but John interrupts to ask him to check out Garys invoice for meat. The inspector agrees and meets with Gary and Billy, while Sherlock makes coffee with sugar for John to try and apologize. Gary nally admits that they found a wild dog and used it to bolster the legend and draw in the tourists. He explains that they kept the vicious dog in a mine. They nally took it to the vet to have it killed when they couldnt control it. Disgusted, Lestrade walks away and John and Sherlock go after him. John catches up to him and points out that Sherlock is glad to have Lestrade there because hes a familiar face. When Sherlock catches up to them, Lestrade admits that he has nothing to charge Gary with. Satised that hes solved the case, Lestrade leaves. However, Sherlock insists that the Hound he saw was no ordinary beast, but a giant Hound with glowing skin and red eyes. He has a theory but needs to get back into Baskerville to conrm it... and calls Mycroft for help. Sometimes later, Sherlock and John return to Baskerville. Sherlock tells John that hell have to search in the labs for the Hound while he talks to Baskerville, and that his friend should start with Stapletons. Barrymore is less than thrilled when Sherlock informs him that hes been given unlimited access for 24 hours, but has no choice but to agree with the order. The major gures that Sherlock is a conspiracy nut and tells him that he wont nd anything. At home, Henry crouches on the oor and holds a photo of his family. He has another ash and screams in shock. John goes to the labs as the scientists shut down for the night. He uses the pass card to enter Stapletons lab and looks around, noting several leaking pipes. When he emerges, a bank of lights comes on and a siren starts blaring. Half-blinded, John makes his way to the door but discovers that the pass card doesnt work. The lights and sound shut down and John hears someone moving around. He investigates the cages and discovers that something has broken out of one of them. Something growls in the darkness and John makes his way to another door. His pass card doesnt work on that one and hes unable to raise Sherlock on his cell phone. John nally takes refuge in one of the empty cages, locking the door behind him. Sherlock calls and John begs him to get him out. At his friends request, John tries to describe what is in the lab and he nally sees what he insists was the Hound. Sherlock arrives seconds later, turns on the lights, lets John out, and has him describe what he saw. John repeats Sherlocks earlier description of what he saw the previous night, and Sherlock explains that theyve all been under the inuence of a drug. They go to see Stapleton and nd her experimenting with a rabbit. When she wonders why they are there, Sherlock says that its a matter of murder and turns off the lights. The rabbit, her daughters, glows in the dark and Stapleton asks what he wants. Sherlock asks to use her microscope and she agrees. While Sherlock analyzes sugar samples, Stapleton explains that there was a mix-up and her daughter accidentally got one of the uorescent rabbits. She freely admits that she has been engaged in genetic experimentation and that theres no limit on the size of the animals that she can tamper with. Sherlock throws the samples away in disgust and admits that theres no sign of the drug that hes sure must be responsible. He tells John that the three of them have all had the same food except for coffee, since John takes his coffee without sugar. John only saw the Hound after he drank Sherlocks sugar with the coffee from earlier, that he had taken from Henrys kitchen. However, theres no sign of a drug in the sugar. Sherlock tells Stapleton and John to leave so that he can concentrate and John leads the scientist out. Once theyre gone, Sherlock mentally reviews everything hes seen, heard, and read since the case began. Finally he realizes the signicance of Liberty, Indiana, and HOUND. 30

Sherlock Episode Guide That night, Henry is running through the moors as the Hound chases after him. He tries to shoot at it... ... and wakes up at his house to discover that hes holding a gun and res a shot, narrowly missing Dr. Templeton. Shocked, he runs away. Sherlock has Stapleton take him and John to the computer center and bring up the les on Project HOUND, an experiment at a CIA facility in Liberty, Indiana. The le is passwordencrypted and only Barrymore has the key. Sherlock looks around the majors ofce and his collection of books, deduces the password, and enters it. The computer brings up a series of les on a suggestibility drug, and the last names of the ve principal scientists spell HOUND. The photo shows the ve scientists, wearing HOUND t-shirts with Liberty, IN on them. The CIA wanted to use the drug to disorient the enemy but shut it down in 1986 because the drug drove the test subjects insane. Someone is carrying on the research now, and Sherlock realizes that one of the scientists is a young Dr. Falkland. As Sherlock calls Falkland to arrange a meeting, Templeton calls John and tells him Henry has a gun and is suffering ts of paranoid dementia. Sherlock gures that Henry will head back to Dewars Hollow and calls to Lestrade to have him meet them there. Henry staggers down into the hollow, apologizing to his dead father, and puts the gun into his mouth. As he prepares to pull the trigger, Sherlock and John arrive and try to stop him. Sherlock realizes that someone has been guiding Henrys memories and tells him to remember what happened when he was 9. Henry concentrates and remembers a man in a gas mask attacking his father, a man who was wearing one of the HOUND t-shirts. Sherlock tells Henry that as a child he couldnt handle the memories so rationalized it as something different. However, when Henry started to remember the truth, the killer tried to drive him out of his mind. Lestrade arrives as Henry hands the gun over. When he points out that he and Sherlock both saw the Hound, Sherlock explains that it was an ordinary dog and their drugged minds saw it as a monster. A dog moves along the top edge of the hollow and John points out that Lestrade shouldnt be drugged. As the Hound comes down into the hollow, Sherlock sees a man wearing a gas mask step into sight. He grabs the man and pulls off the mask, and sees the face of... Moriarty. Realizing that hes been drugged, Sherlock deduces that the gas is in the fog. Concentrating, he can see that the newcomer is Frankland. The Hound comes at them and Frankland yells at them to shoot. Lestrade and John open re, killing the beast. Sherlock takes Henry to it and he realizes that its just an ordinary dog. Henry lunges at Frankland, throwing him to the ground, and wonders why he didnt just kill him. Sherlock explains that Frankland needed to discredit him. He planted pressure-sensitive chemical mines in the area, dosing Henry every time that he came to the hollow. Sherlock is thrilled at how intriguing the case was. Henry realizes that his father was right and Frankland killed him. The dying dog stirs, distracting the men long enough for Frankland to run off. He enters the mineeld and steps on a mine. Refusing to let himself be captured, he lifts his foot and the mine explodes, killing him. The next day at the pub, Sherlock joins John for breakfast. The detective has concluded that Gary and Bill couldnt kill the dog, but has no idea why they would hesitate. John explains that they spared it out of sentiment. When he wonders how he was exposed, Sherlock says that the leaking pipes in the lab contained the gas. However, John realizes that Sherlock deliberately put the sugar in the coffee, locked him in the lab, and played pre-recorded animal growls to conrm his hypothesis. John isnt happy but is satised after pointing out that Sherlock was wrong about his original hypothesis. After assuring his friend that the drug has no long-term effects, Sherlock goes over to talk to Gary. In a hidden facility, a man tells his underling to release a captive. The man then looks around the captives cell, which is covered with the word Sherlock scratched into the walls.

Pentonville, the Tower of London, and the Bank of England is only the start. Sherlock must discover what his greatest foe is up to and stop him, but his reputation, and even his life, come under threat.

John is meeting with his therapist Ella for the rst time in 18 months. He asks if she keeps up on the news and, if she does, then she must know why hes there. Ella invites him to talk about what happened, telling him that he needs to get it out, and he tells her that his best friend, Sherlock Holmes, is dead. Three Months Earlier An art gallery is hosting a display of The Falls of Reichenbach, recovered by Sherlock. Sherlock and John are there and the gallery director presents Sherlock with a token of their gratitude. Even though Sherlock has deduced their diamond cufinks and he uses buttons, John tells his friend to say thank you and Sherlock reluctantly does. The newspapers continue to feature Sherlock as he solves case after case, and even Lestrade is forced to acknowledge his help... and give him the infamous deerstalker hat, to the amusement of the press. Back at Baker Street, Sherlock expresses his displeasure at being a newspaper darling and tries to gure out how a deerstalker works, while John is less than thrilled to be described as a conrmed bachelor. He warns that the press will soon turn on Sherlock like they turn on others, 33

Sherlock Episode Guide and Sherlock tries to gure out why John is so worried about what people say about Sherlock. John just tells him to keep a low prole and nd a small case to solve. At the Tower of London at 11 a.m., Moriarty is posing as a tourist and taking photos of the halls leading to the Crown Jewels. He then texts Sherlock, who is ignoring his calls while investigating an old case. Moriarty goes through the metal detector, which lights up. He passes through his MP player and continues on, goes up to the Crown Jewels, and puts in his earphones. Moriarty then raises his arms in a conducting motion and listens to the music, while the unsuspecting security guards watch on the monitors. At the Bank of England and Pentonville Prison, the staff goes about their business. Moriarty activates a computer key code on his player and the security monitors go out. The security guards usher everyone out but Moriarty knocks out the guard who comes for him while the other guards seal the area with Moriarty inside. At Scotland Yard, Sgt. Donovan tells Lestrade that theres been a break-in and theyre on it. Moriarty triggers a computer key code for the Bank of England. The vault opens as the bank director stares at the monitors in surprise. Lestrade and Donovan are en route to the Tower of London when they get word of the break in at the Bank of London. Moriarty writes Get Sherlock on the case containing the Crown Jewels and then sends another computer key code to Pentonville Prison. The alarms go off there and Lestrade and Donovan arrive at the Tower with a squad of men. Meanwhile, Moriarty sticks a small diamond to the glass case and then shatters the glass with a re extinguisher. When Lestrade and his men burst in, they nd Moriarty sitting in the case, wearing the Crown Jewels and casually waiting for them. John nally checks Sherlocks phone when another text message comes in. He hands it to Sherlock and tells him that he is back. The message is from Moriarty, inviting Sherlock to come and play. The partners go to the Tower and check the security monitors, conrming that Moriarty used a diamond to shatter the glass. The recording also clearly shows Moriartys message to get Sherlock. Moriarty is quickly put on trial and Sherlock is called as a witness. He and John leave their apartment where the press is gathered outside. Meanwhile, Moriarty is taken to the dock and he asks a female clerk to slip her hand into his pocket. Her superior agrees and she gives him the piece of gum that she nds. Sherlock is washing his hands in the restroom when a woman wearing a deerstalker hat comes in and recognizes him. He realizes that shes a Sherlock fan and she asks him to sign her chest. However, Sherlock quickly conrms that shes a journalist and is deliberately testing him. The woman introduces herself as Kitty Riley but Sherlock refuses to give an interview no matter how much money she offers him. Kitty threatens to publish explicit rumors about Sherlock and John if he doesnt cooperate and advises him that hell need someone on his side eventually. She assures Sherlock that he can trust her, and he invites her to read him to see everything she needs for an interview. When Kitty says nothing, Sherlock analyzes her and says that shes desperate and hungry, not smart. He takes her recorder and says, You repel me, and then walks away. In court, the prosecuting barrister leads Sherlock through the case, having him testify on Moriartys character. Sherlock provides the barrister with advice and warns that Moriarty is the spider at the center of a vast criminal web. When the judge disputes his expertise, saying its up to the jury to decide, Sherlock analyzes each of the jury members to display his expertise. The judge tells him to stop showing off or be cited with contempt, but Sherlock soon ends up in a cell. John gets him released and his friend points out that Moriarty isnt mounting a defense. They go back to their apartment and Sherlock gures that Moriarty is in a cell because he wants to be there. The next day, the defense barrister refuses to call any witnesses even though hes entered a plea of not guilty. Smiling, Moriarty glances up at John in the chambers. The judge summons up the case for the jury and recommends that they nd him guilty. The jury comes back after six minutes with a verdict of not guilty. John calls Sherlock with the news and warns him that Moriarty will be coming after him. Sherlock hangs up and sets tea, and then starts playing the violin. Moriarty comes in without knocking and Sherlock invites him to have tea. The criminal mastermind gures that Sherlock 34

Sherlock Episode Guide is pleased that hes back on the streets because he needs a suitable opponent, and that all fairy tales need a good old-fashioned villain. Moriarty cheerfully explains that he threatened all 12 jurors and forced them to return the not guilty verdict. Sherlock wonders how he plans to burn him, and Moriarty admits that its the nal problems and asks his rival if hes worked it out. As he nishes his knee, Moriarty taps on his knee. Moriarty asks Sherlock to prove that he knows why he broke into three places and didnt steal anything, and Sherlock explains that Moriarty doesnt need anything because he has the computer key code that got him into all three. Moriarty explains that his computer key code can open any door and the trial was an advertisement. Now rogue governments and terrorists all want his computer key code. Sherlock wonders what he really wants and Moriarty tells him that he wants to solve the nal problem, their problem. He warns Sherlock that the fall will start soon and that he owes him, and then leaves. Two Months Later John withdraws money from an ATM and receives a message that theres a problem with his card. The machine message has his name on it and a car pulls up behind him. Hes taken to the Diogenes Club and tries to ask the club members where he can nd Mycroft. They refuse to answer and summon the staff, who gag John and escort him to Mycroft. Mycroft explains that total silence at the club is traditional and then shows John a tabloid newspaper. Kitty has written an article promising an expose on Sherlock based on information provided by an actor, Richard Brook. Mycroft then shows John photos of a man that the latter doesnt recognize, and explains that hes an expert assassin that has moved in near 221B Baker Street. A total of four international assassins have moved into the neighboring ats and suspects that its Moriarty. John points out that if it were Moriarty, theyd already be dead, leaving them to wonder who is responsible. When John suggests that Mycroft talk to Sherlock, Mycroft says that theres too much history between them. As John leaves, Mycroft says that they both know that Moriarty will attempt to destroy Sherlock, and asks John to look after him because Sherlock wont accept Mycrofts help. John considers it and then walks away without a word. When John returns home, he nds a sealed and unmarked envelope on the doorstep. Theres nothing inside but bread crumbs. A workman brushes past him and John goes up to the apartment, where Lestrade and Donovan are meeting with Holmes. Claudia and Max Bruhl, the children of the U.S. Ambassador, have been kidnapped from the boarding school where they were staying. The ambassador has asked for the Reichenbach Hero personally. Sherlock and John accompany the police to the school and talk to the headmistress, Miss MacKenzie. Despite Lestrades advice to take it easy, Sherlock yells at her to explain and she insists that the doors and windows were locked and no one could have gotten in. He tells her that he believes her and that he just yelled at her to get her to speak quickly. Sherlock then goes to Claudias room and looks around. He nds an envelope like the one John found earlier, containing a book of Grimms fairy tales. Sherlock then examine the door to Maxs room and realizes that the boy would have seen an intruders silhouette through the pebbled glass window. He concludes that Max, a fan of spy books, would have left a sign, and then smells linseed from his cricket bat. Sherlock has Anderson produce an ultraviolet light which reveals the words help us written on the wall in linseed oil. More importantly, the boy covered his soles with the same oil, leaving a trail for them to follow down the hall. The kidnapper pushed Max in front of him, trailing through the oil himself. As Sherlock takes samples of the oil, John points out that hes smiling despite the fact theyre dealing with kidnapped children. As they return to London, Sherlock explains that the kidnapper slipped in with the parents and staff as the other children left at the end of the term. Once inside, he hid until the time was right. Sherlock and John go to St. Bartholomews and tell Molly that theyre having lunch with them: packets of crisp. When Sherlock explains that theyre after Moriarty and need Molly to tell them everything she knows about her ex-boyfriend when he was impersonating an IT worker, Molly insists that she knows very little about him. Sherlock uses the lab equipment to examine the oil samples, since they contain all the other trace elements on the kidnappers shoes. He nds traces of chalk, asphalt, brick dust, vegetation, and an unidentied glycerol molecule. When Sherlock mutters I owe you, Molly overhears him and asks what he means. He dodges the question and Molly says that her father typically put on 35

Sherlock Episode Guide a brave face but she could tell when it slipped. She asks if Sherlock is okay and offers anything he needs. Sherlock doesnt understand what he could need from her, and Molly quickly walks away. John goes over the photos of the crime scene and notices that the envelope with Claudias book looks like the one he found on the doorstep. Sherlock examines the bread crumbs and realizes that it relates to the tale in Claudias book of Hansel and Gretel. He also remembers Moriarty talking about fairy tales and realizes that the glycerol molecule is PGPR, which is used in making chocolate. In an abandoned sweets factory, Max and Claudia are desperately eating chocolate. Lestrade tells Sherlock that theyve received a fax saying that the children are dying. Sherlock gives the list of ve elements to Lestrade and says they need to nd where all ve can be located. They go over the elements and Sherlock coordinates with his homeless network. He nally locates a factory in Addlestone and the police go there. Sherlock accompanies them and nds a candle that was just blown out and empty sweets wrappers. He conrms that the wrappers were painted with mercury, but not enough to kill them on its own. However, the hungrier the children were, the more they would eat and the faster they would die. Donovan nds the children and they get them to the hospital. Once Lestrade and Donovan nish questioning the children, Sherlock goes in. As soon as she sees him, Claudia starts screaming and Lestrade gets him out. They assume that shes traumatized and Max is still unconscious and unable to provide anything helpful. Sherlock remembers Moriartys threat and starts to walk out, and Donovan comments that it was unbelievable how he managed to track the children down from a footprint. Outside, Sherlock catches a cab and tells John to take the next one because hes thinking. Back in Scotland Yard, Donovan considers all the evidence and Lestrade asks if theres a problem. In the taxi, the private TV comes on and Moriartys face appears on it. He tells Sherlock about the story of Sir Boast-A-Lot. Donovan points out to Lestrade that Sherlock did it all from a single footprint. When he says that Sherlock is a genius, she says thats one explanation. Donovan suggests that Sherlock himself is the kidnapper and Anderson agree with her. Moriarty tells his story of how the other knights didnt believe Sir Boast-A-Lots stories, but that wasnt his nal problem and then signs off. Sherlock orders the cab driver to pull over at Baker Street and confronts the driver, Moriarty. He drives off before Sherlock can stop him, and a pedestrian pulls Sherlock out of the way of an approaching car. Sherlock shakes his hand in thanks and two shots ring out. The pedestrian drops to the ground, dead, as John pulls up in his taxi. As the EMTs take the dead man away, John explains that the pedestrian was one of the assassins that Mycroft had identied. Sherlock realizes that the other assassins killed the man because they gured Sherlock has something that they all want, and will kill each other if they try to get it from him. Sherlock notices the dust and calls Mrs. Hudson to ask her where shes dusted. He looks for a broken dust line and nally locates a hidden camera. Lestrade comes in and Sherlock already knows that hes there to bringing him in for questioning. He gures that Moriarty planted the doubt in Donovans mind, and now hell use the hidden camera to get a photo of Sherlock being arrested. Sherlock says that he wont play long and examines the camera, while Lestrade goes downstairs to where Donovan is waiting. John watches them go and Sherlock tells them that theyll decide whether to get a warrant and come back to arrest him. Sherlock insists that he doesnt care what the world thinks about him, and John says that he doesnt want people thinking that his friend is a fraud. When he hesitates, Sherlock realizes that John is worried that theyre right about him and angrily insists that Moriarty is playing them all. John denies it, pointing out that even Sherlock couldnt fake being annoying all the time. Lestrade, Donovan, and Anderson go to the superintendent, who is surprised to learn that theyve brought him in on dozens of cases. The superintendent angrily tells Lestrade to bring Sherlock in immediately. As they leave, Lestrade secretly calls John to warn him. Mrs. Hudson comes in with another envelope, delivered by a man with a German name like one in a fairy tale. Inside the envelope is a butter crisp gingerbread man. The police arrive, handcuff Sherlock, and take him away. Donovan points out that she warned him from the beginning that Sherlock would 36

Sherlock Episode Guide become a criminal. The superintendent arrives and dismisses Sherlock as a weirdo, and John punches him in the face. John is taken down with Sherlock, who realizes that they have to escape even though theyre handcuffed to each other. He grabs a radio mike and generates feedback to deafen the arresting ofces. Sherlock then grabs a gun and orders everyone down, and then takes John as a hostage. The two men run for it, discarding the gun, and John suggests they go to Mycroft for help. Sherlock doesnt advise a reconciliation attempt at the moment, and then notices one of the assassins following them. Determined to get answers, Sherlock steps in front of an oncoming bus. The assassin has no choice but to rescue them, and Sherlock grabs his gun and demands to know what the killer wants. He explains that they all believe that Moriarty left the computer key code in their at. Sherlock concludes that Moriarty planted the key code when he visited him two months ago. A hidden assassin kills their captive to eliminate the competition, while Sherlock ducks into an alleyway and explains to John about the computer key code. The message that Moriarty left, Get Sherlock, was a message to the terrorists and rogue governments telling them where they could nd the code. As they try to gure out what to do, John notices the newspaper article Mycroft had earlier and reads it more carefully. Kelly claims that Sherlock hired an out-of-work actor and supposed close friend, Richard Brook, and John asks who Richard Brook is. Kelly comes home and nds Sherlock and John, still handcuffed together, waiting for her. She points out that she wanted to be on his side and doesnt know who Brook is, but Sherlock doesnt believe her. Before she can answer, Moriarty comes in and cowers before them. Kelly explains that there was never a Moriarty, and that Brook is an actor that Sherlock hired to play Moriarty. John angrily tells Moriarty that he tried to blow him up, but Moriarty claims that Sherlock paid him to stage the entire thing. Kelly has what she considers exclusive proof that Sherlock invented Moriarty and all of the crimes, and promised that he would be found not guilty at the trial. John doesnt believe it but Moriarty has a resume showing that hes a storyteller on a childrens program. Moriarty runs out before Sherlock can grab him, and the two men go after him. As Sherlock leaves, Kelly tells him that he repels her. Outside, Sherlock warns his friend that Moriarty has created a big enough lie, and spread enough doubt, that hell be believed. He realizes that Moriarty only needs to do one more thing and then tells John that theres something he has to do on his own and walks off. Molly is closing up at the hospital and nds Sherlock waiting for her. He tells her that hes already trusted her and that hes not okay. When Molly asks what he needs, Sherlock wonders if she would help him if he wasnt what either one of them thought he was. She simply repeats her question and Sherlock says that he needs her. Mycroft arrives at the Diogenes Club and nds John waiting for him. John points out that Kitty has done her homework and only someone close to Sherlock could have given her the information. He realizes that Mycroft came to him for help because he made a mistake with Moriarty, and Mycroft explains that they watch people like Moriarty, and Moriarty had the key code. They abducted him and interrogated him for weeks but he didnt give the code up. The only time Moriarty would talk is when Mycroft would come in, but Mycroft had to offer facts on Sherlock in return. John points out that Mycroft has given Moriarty the perfect ammunition to destroy Sherlock: small facts to support his big lie. As John leaves, Mycroft says that hes sorry and asks John to tell Sherlock. Sherlock calls John to the hospital and tells him that they can use the key code to destroy Moriartys false identity. He tries to work out where Moriarty hid it, and John taps his ngers while considering the matter. Sherlock notices and remembers Moriarty tapping his ngers during his visit. He then sends a text message to Moriarty telling him to meet him at the top of the hospital, and that he has something of Moriartys. The two men wait and John dozes off. When his phone goes off, he takes the call from paramedics, who say that Mrs. Hudson has been shot. John tells Sherlock, who tells him to go without him because he has to think. Furious, John calls him a machine and says that its friends that protect each other, and then storms off. Moriarty sends a text message saying that hes waiting. Sherlock goes to the roof and nds Moriarty waiting for him. He explains that he has spent his life looking for distractions, but even Sherlock failed him in the end. Sherlock knows that Richard Brook is Reichenbach in English, the case that made Sherlocks name. Moriarty no37

Sherlock Episode Guide tices that Sherlock is tapping his ngers and congratulates him on getting that as well. He had typed out the key code in binary code, and all of the assassins tried to keep him alive because Sherlock memorized the pattern. When Sherlock threatens to alter the records and bring back Jim Moriarty, Moriarty complains that its too easy and tells him that there is no key. The rhythm is from Bach, and Moriarty pulled off the three events with inside help. Moriarty tells Sherlock that his one weakness is that he expects things to be clever, and says that its a good thing he chose a tall building. Sherlock realizes that his nal act will be suicide now that his life is in ruins. John arrives at Baker Street and goes inside. Mrs. Hudson is ne and standing with the workman who came in earlier when John received the envelope. He goes back outside to hail a taxi. Sherlock tells Moriarty that he can still prove that he created a false identity, but Moriarty tells him that it would be much less effort to kill himself. After a moment Sherlock grabs him and says that hes insane. Moriarty warns him that if he doesnt kill himself, then his friends will die. Three gunmen are targeting John, Mrs. Hudson, and Lestrade even as they speak. They will only stop if Moriartys people see Sherlock jump and signal the killers. Moriarty tells him that no matter what Sherlock does to him, his only three friends in the world will die. Sherlock steps to the edge of the roof and asks for a moment of privacy. He steps away, and Sherlock rst smiles and then laughs. Moriarty hears him and demands to know what he missed, and Sherlock stops onto the roof and says that there must be a recall code. He gures that he can make Moriarty give up the code, and says that Moriarty knows it as well. Moriarty says that theres nothing Sherlock can do to give it, up and Sherlock says that hell do anything that it takes. He points out that he may be on the side of the angels, but he isnt an angel. Moriarty smiles and concedes that Sherlock is not ordinary, and is just like him. He thanks Sherlock and shakes his hand, and admits that as long as hes alive, Sherlock has a way to save his friends. Moriarty then takes out a gun and shoots himself in the head, killing himself. Each of the killers, including the worker at Baker Street, prepares to kill their designated victims. With time running out for his friends, Sherlock steps onto the edge of the roof and watches as John gets out of the taxi after it pulls up to the hospital. Sherlock calls John and begs him to go back. When John keeps going, Sherlock tells him to stop and look up. He then lies and says that everything is true and he invented Moriarty and that hes a fake. When John points out that no one could have known what Sherlock did about his sister when they rst met, Sherlock says that he researched him. Crying, Sherlock tells John to stay where he is and watch him no matter what, and then drops the phone and steps off the ledge. John runs to his friend but a passing bicyclist knocks him over. A crowd gathers around Sherlocks body and a dazed John staggers through, insisting that hes a doctor. He checks Sherlocks pulse and nds nothing, and EMTs rush in to move the body away. As John watches leaves, the sniper puts his gun away. Later, Mycroft is at the club reading the tabloid story on his brothers death. John sits at home, alone. Now Ella asks John what he wanted to say that he didnt. Later, John and Mrs. Hudson go to the cemetery. As they stand at Sherlocks grave, John says that he cant go back yet and admits that hes angry. Mrs. Hudson understands and crying, leaves John alone. He tells Sherlock that he was the most human being that he knew, and asks him to be one more miracle: live. Crying, John turns and strides away... unaware that Sherlock is watching from the trees.
